EDITOR’S LETTER
Casa Luis Barragán in Mexico City, shown right and below, inspired this issue’s Spotlight feature with its contemporary aesthetic and global influence.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME There is much to debate/discuss/enthuse about architecture and design. Yet, of this I am emphatic: Good design has to be firmly rooted to a place. There are buildings and aesthetics that we couldn’t imagine anywhere else but from where they sprout.
We lean into a host of cultural influences in this issue of Luxe, with design narratives as varied and interesting as the decorative details that are expressed at the hands of the makers. So, take a spin through our pages and ‘round-the-world reporting. Then, always, return home, for it’s the best way to measure how far you’ve come.
Pamela Jaccarino VP, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino
casa luis barragán photos, maria amador. portrait, sonya revell.
Take the graphic elegance and saturated hues of contemporary Mexican architect Luis Barragán’s residence-turned-museum in Mexico City. Would this poetic home be as wondrous in Miami, in Los Angeles? I recently visited, and think not. Barragán’s spatial strategy and brilliant play of light and shadow elicit a sense of reverence and respect appropriate to its root. His masterful residence and studio were the inspiration for our Spotlight story inside.

Variety SHOP THREE STANDOUT COMPANIES CURATE GLOBAL DESIGN FINDS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE
I
nternational furnishings and accessories have long been synonymous with elevated living—each piece’s highly crafted form and place of origin adding a dynamic layer. And whether it makes a grand statement as a room’s centerpiece or plays a supporting role as an accent, these global finds stand out as bold characters. Luxe explores three companies offering wares by both emerging and established artisans from around the world that were previously only available to the trade. Let the hunt begin!
Cool Factor: Before the existence of its three shops and online presence, Urban Zen was founded more than 20 years ago by Donna Karan as a philanthropic endeavor and center for change. During a trip to Bali, where she sourced and manufactured her original furnishing pieces (and continues to do so), she felt a true connection to the people and their craft. Traveling around the world since and working with artisans globally, Karan’s intention is to give back in a larger sense through health care initiatives, education and cultural preservation to the places she sources from. What you’ll find: Representing more than 45 artisans
in 20 different countries, Karan’s two shops in New York (Manhattan and Sag Harbor) and one in Los Angeles offer not only furnishings, accessories and clothing designed by the fashion guru herself and made by the artisans from countries across the world, but they also function as multidisciplinary spaces for seminars, meditation classes, events and other happenings that help to promote the philanthropic arm of Karan’s initiative. Up Next: A big proponent for helping the citizens of Haiti, Karan just collaborated with Kenneth Cole on an upcoming footwear project set to launch in July. In her words: “Urban Zen is about forming communities who want to help create change that is needed in the world.”

ADORNO Cool Factor: The brainchild of Martin Clausen and Kristian Snorre Andersen, Adorno is an online platform that empowers independent designers from 16 cities worldwide by featuring their unique or limited-edition pieces that have been carefully selected by local curators. Revamping the traditional collectible design market often dominated by physical galleries, Adorno works as a digital gallery with a simple and transparent price structure that benefits both the buyer and the designer by connecting them directly. What you’ll find: Inspired by the agriculture and fishing co-operatives in their native Denmark, where individuals prosper working as a unit, the Adorno platform enables autonomous collaborations between curators and designers from urban communities such as São Paulo, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Beirut and Berlin. Up Next: Believing design should be experienced in real life, the company is in its final stages of implementing 3D technology and high-quality imagery to create the “second” best way customers can inspect and try pieces in their home. In their words: “We hope to contribute to a creative society that celebrates diversity between cultures by providing designers with better opportunities to realize their own dreams and visions as creators.”
The Cocktail light by Hanna Anonen (left) and Not only hollow Cabinet by Dirk vander Kooij are both available through Adorno.
The Invisible Collection offers limited-edition pieces, like the Nomad Stools by Charles Zana, shown flanking the wall, and Chair Conversation by Vincent Darre (right).
Cool Factor: For the first time, exclusive pieces made by a number of the most esteemed names in the business, like Pierre Yovanovitch, Thierry Lemaire and Caroline Sarkozy, are available for purchase, and in most cases, exclusively on Isabelle Dubern-Mallevays and Anna Zaoui’s site, The Invisible Collection. Prior to the launch of the website in 2016, these pieces remained hidden and inaccessible, and one would have to commission these designers for a project to snag one of their sought-after pieces. What you’ll find: Initiated as an outlet to share the pair’s passion for design with a broader clientele, their highly-curated model offers access to furnishings and objets of the utmost quality all made to order by highly skilled creators and architects from around the world such as Bismut & Bismut, Charles Zana and Atelier Vime. Up Next: The details are still hush-hush, but the chic duo, who are based between Paris, London and New York, will bring The Invisible Collection to life in the Big Apple with a new exhibit this November for a second stateside visit since their premiere at Art Basel Miami in 2018. In their words: “It is very exciting to meet with a designer and discover their work, understand their approach, and then select the best pieces for the site. We always look at the work with a curatorial eye.”

Out of AFRICA SOUTHERN GUILD BRINGS DESIGN BEYOND THE BORDERS OF THE WORLD’S SECOND LARGEST CONTINENT.
Southern Guild recently showcased a Dokter and Misses collection, which included this limitededition Rat Trap cabinet made of hand-painted steel.
When Zizipho Poswa was growing up in the small South African town of Umtata, there were no art schools or creative role models. As a child, she made paper sculptures, doll clothes and drawings, but even after leaving her home to study art at university, becoming an internationally renowned artist seemed to be an unreachable dream. But then, after forming Imiso Ceramics with Andile Dyalvane, she met Trevyn and Julian McGowan of Southern Guild, and her horizons expanded beyond Africa. The McGowans started Southern Guild, Africa’s only gallery dedicated to limited-edition and collectible design and art, in 2008 to support design created in Trevyn’s home country. “We returned to South Africa after living in London for several years, and we noticed the extraordinary work being produced without representation,” says Trevyn. “We felt we could provide the opportunity for more people to see and understand African design.” Through Southern Guild’s Cape Town gallery and international exhibitions, they have introduced the work of modern African artists (such as Poswa and Dyalvane) to collectors around the globe, and the response has been enthusiastic. “I’m exhibiting at top international shows like Salon Art + Design in New York and Design Miami,” says Poswa, who now resides in Cape Town. “I’ve sold my pieces around the world.” According to Trevyn, collectors—including a large and growing client base in the United States—are reacting to both the caliber and the soul of the work. “Fine art and design in Africa is very forward-thinking, but largely made by hand,” she says. “The hallmark of design from this continent are pieces with a strong narrative. Many of them tell very personal stories about the maker and his or her journey and most pieces possess a sense of wit and humor, but they are usually functional as well.”

Poswa’s work, which includes colorful vessels, is a case in point. “I reference my culture, growing up as young Xhosa girl in the rural Eastern Cape, and express my love for Africa as a continent,” she says. “I draw inspiration from our traditional masks, fabrics, textures, beadwork and clothing.” Some of her works translate the color and patterns of African textiles onto vases, bowls and plates. The art of sculptor Stanislaw Trzebinski, also represented by Southern Guild, is a personal commentary on the often-eroding relationship between people and nature. It’s a tale he knows well, as he currently lives in Cape Town but spent his childhood in the East African bush and on the ocean with his father, surfing and fishing. His bronze works (which range from figurative decorative arts to tables) often feature coral and other watery motifs, sometimes married to the human form. “I’m looking at the symbiotic relationship we humans have to the natural world that has been all but lost today, with the exceptions of a few indigenous cultures,” he says. “I want to entice the viewer to take a closer look at the work itself, but also at how we relate to the planet we call home.” Asking buyers to take a closer look at African design is precisely the goal of the McGowans, as well. “To look is to experience the warmth and the personality of Africa. There’s a sense of non-conformism and joy,” Trevyn says. And by looking, she says you might be creating the next Poswa or Trzebinski, explaining: “Our focus lies in emboldening industry heroes and shaping careers. We want to put future design leaders on a global platform and help them be all that they can.”

RADAR / DEBUT
Tactile elements play a starring role in Frank Ponterio’s debut collection with Arteriors. The designer conjured ink-like etchings inspired by real-life tattoos on the Flint Containers (bottom) and used handwoven rope on the Johyo Chandelier and Vendee Mirror (left). “The materials are those that people want to interact with and touch,” he says. The Salotto Cabinet (below) is the crown jewel of the collection.
La Dolce VITA
FRANK PONTERIO’S DEBUT COLLECTION WITH ARTERIORS STRIKES A SWEET SPOT BETWEEN ROUGH AND RARIFIED. WRITTEN BY HEATHER CARNEY PORTRAIT BY BERT VANDERVEEN
As a first-generation Italian American, interior designer Frank Ponterio spent a month every summer with his family exploring the beaches and small towns of Southern Italy, often fitting in a trip to the major metropolises of Venice or Rome. It was on these visits when he observed the attention to detail and sense of pride the Italians took in fabricating everyday features like a chimney or a handmade door handle. “Everything is beautiful and well thought-out. It’s a true Italian’s approach—whether in an artwork or how pavers on the city streets are laid. There is pride in the craft,” says the designer. Some decades later, the essence of those qualities are on display in Ponterio’s debut collection with Arteriors: a 28-piece compendium of mirrors, lamps and accessories that honors his Italian heritage with a modern perspective. His white-oak Salotto Cabinet, the crown jewel of the collection, was inspired by a pair of bronze doors at the Villa Necchi in Milan. The cabinet beckons
with front panels wrapped in vellum and punched with decorative cut-outs offering a glimpse of what’s inside. “We gave so much attention to that piece,” says Ponterio. Still, the collection isn’t all romance and history. The designer drew on his grittier, more urban upbringing in Chicago for many of the pieces, including the Joey Tray, inspired by a childhood acquaintance, who was “a little rough around the edges,” says Ponterio. “I was playing with thickcut hide and how to join the corners. The idea of brass studs came to me, and I thought about adding another accent—brass knuckles—to it. I sent it to the Arteriors team and said, ‘You’re going to think I’m crazy, but here’s what I want to do.’ It’s an urban nod to Chicago.” Blending approachability with luxury is a hallmark of Ponterio’s work. It’s also one of the qualities that attracted Arteriors to collaborate with the designer. “Many pieces are rooted in Frank’s love of entertaining, and in his philosophy that the home should be a welcoming and inviting place,” says Mark Moussa, founder and creative director of Arteriors. “At the same time, he is unwavering in his appreciation for materials of the finest quality.” For a designer who finds comfort in a moody cocktail lounge and a breezy, beachside locale, it’s apparent his collection reflects both sentiments. “There are two sides of me—the really urban guy and the guy who loves the coasts. It goes back to Italy,” says Ponterio. “I like mixing things that are rugged with those that are a bit more refined.”

ALEXA HAMPTON Interviewed by Carrier and Company
You’ve expressed, “It’s been a no-boundaries design process with Theodore Alexander.” What’s been your favorite exploration? I loved visiting Theodore Alexander’s foundry and seeing all of their metalwork capabilities. Sometimes simply picking hardware can be a drag, but this wasn’t. They can do anything! You mentioned taking ideas from art, antiques and travel. I am an eternal “Euro wannabe.” I so wish I were European, that I married one and made three little Euros! That said, rich design traditions are everywhere, and the Far East has always held a vast influence over beautiful interiors. A touch of chinoiserie, a chow leg, red lacquer, bamboo motifs: These are all firm members of the design canon. Any Alexa fave that you are going to use over and over in projects? I am excited to play with the metal console tables immediately. I am also really psyched to have a Napoleon III slipper chair at the ready. That’s the best part of having a collection: You can selfishly make what your heart most wants!
CARRIER AND COMPANY
Interviewed by Richard Mishaan First off, the Century Collection is stunning. How do you find a balance between creative, new designs, without straying too far from the roots of your brand? Thank you, Richard! We wanted our collection to be reflective of our assembled interiors, which express dualities—a mix of simple with ornate, sheen with hand and glamour with organic earthiness. For us, having standout pieces, along with simpler forms is very much on brand. How do you divide up your roles as husband and wife once you’re ‘at work’ and how do you successfully partner your visions? While we generally share an aligned point of view, we each have our own strengths, interests and inspirations. It is our differences that actually make us stronger—we challenge each other’s choices, but ultimately focus on the shared goals to temper ego with perspective. What do people overlook when designing that can be found in your collection? Versatility. We designed pieces that can move from room-to-room or coast-to-coast. Good design travels well!

RYAN KORBAN
Interviewed by Alexa Hampton Tell me about the process for your new EJ Victor collection. Are you a cocktail napkin conceptualist? Where do the ideas start? Mine start in a bottle of tequila! For me it was daunting, but then I realized I was making it more complicated than it needed to be. I started in retail and commercial space design, so I’ve been designing custom fixtures and furnishings for my entire career. I went back to all my favorite pieces I had designed for brands like Balenciaga but changed the comfort and proportions for people to enjoy in their own homes. How do you describe your collection as a whole and what influenced you? It’s simple: It’s the idea of new luxury; luxury for a new generation. It’s inspired by the French 1920s with the use of interesting materials like suede and plaster. It’s meant to feel elevated but can also be used in a casual way. What pieces are you taking home with you? Oh, good question: a pair of Holland side chairs and a Foch Chandelier!
RICHARD MISHAAN
Interviewed by Ryan Korban Do your Colombian roots play a role in your new collection with Theodore Alexander? The fact that Colombia has produced so many creatives means that there is something inspiring us all. Colombia has rich artisans and sophisticated crafts that are both in such demand at the moment. As they say, you can take little Ricky out of Colombia, but you can’t take Colombia out of little Ricky! What were your go-to materials? I love to see texture and grain in the woods we select. I find that there are so many beautiful patterns that if accentuated can add to the richness of the design. I am lucky that Theodore Alexander’s manufacturing allowed me to work with fine wood finishes, metals and hand-painted panels—the sky was the limit. Who do you see living with your new collection? The Theodore Alexander client is already a sophisticated one. I designed this collection to have versatility, to coexist with furniture the client may already own and to translate well everywhere around the globe. Younger clients may not have some of the more classical pieces, so it’s fun to mix them in with contemporary furniture.

With an aesthetic inspired by Bauhaus, Le Corbusier and Mies, among others, Daniel Germani has a passion for designing custom modern furniture—one that has propelled him into the role of a global influencer. Of late, the Phoenix-based designer added the title of creative director for Gandiablasco to his already long list of partnerships with top international producers such as Cosentino, Riva 1920 and Brown Jordan. Germani’s business acumen and knowledge of both American and European tastes and design principles make him an asset on both sides of the pond. His DeKauri Bath Credenza (below), made from 50,000-year-old New Zealand Kauri wood that had been buried in mud for centuries, was a winner at this year’s German Design Awards. “DeKauri transforms utilitarian parts of the bath into something incredibly beautiful,” says Germani. “It helps take away the feeling of being in a bathroom.” In his work with Gandiablasco and Brown Jordan, Germani takes his acumen outside, meeting the demand for outdoor spaces with the same level of sophisticated finish and design that homeowners enjoy indoors. The Solanas collection turned heads at this year’s Salone del Mobile in Milan with its sleek, sculpted aluminum forms and durable Dekton surfaces, inspired by Germani’s childhood summers spent on the beaches of Uruguay. danielgermanidesigns.com

ITINERARY JEFF BERGHOFF
For 22 years Jeff Berghoff has led his comprehensive landscape design firm, Berghoff Design Group, which is recognized as one of the most influential in the Southwest. He’s known for creating award-winning, formal gardens that tell a story in concert with the architecture of the home and the natural greenery that surrounds it. Since Berghoff is also a car enthusiast, it’s apt that his 300-employee firm is headquartered in a repurposed car dealership. When it’s time to take a break, the Arizona native has some favorite spots to share. berghoffdesign.com
STAY
Enchantment Resort: The Enchantment Resort in Sedona (center) is a real standout. The space itself is beautiful and welcoming, but it’s truly about the setting amidst the dramatic landscape of Sedona’s red rocks; there’s nothing like it. In all of Arizona, it’s my favorite place to go. enchantmentresort.com
and it’s the perfect spot for a quiet, intimate dinner. The menu changes often, according to whatever is freshest from the market and local purveyors that day, so there’s an opportunity to try something new every time you go. It’s truly an experience. trattophx.com

I hop in my 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster (top, right) for a quick morning drive along the backroads to Saguaro Lake or through Tortilla Flats to Canyon Lake. They’re close enough to just spend the morning and not an entire day. Sometimes, I take the day to head up to Prescott through the old west town of Wickenburg and through Skull Valley for the dramatic landscape views of the red rocks. I always have my Leica camera with me so I can snap photos of the scenery. leica-camera.com

THREE ARIZONA CERAMICISTS COAX BEAUTY FROM EARTH AND FIRE.
CHRISTIANE BARBATO BLUE DOOR CERAMICS
Just as chefs create a feast for the eyes, Christiane Barbato’s hand-molded table settings are the backdrop for many a culinary masterpiece at restaurants coast to coast. “My inspiration comes from nature and its organic forms,” says Barbato. “The glazes and colors come from precious stones.” The Brazilian native works out of her home studio in Phoenix (soon to be expanded into a small warehouse) and sells to both wholesale and retail clients through her website. Each piece is made to order, shaped and glazed one by one. Many are imprinted with textures that evoke seashells, flowers, linen and lace, glazed in various hues of blue, white and gray. Intentionally irregular borders and organic shapes are the hallmark of pieces that Barbato says are infused with blessings and love, made to stand the test of time. bluedoorceramics.com
JEFFREY RYAN MAY MAYWARE CERAMICS Earth, sky, sea and sand—Jeffrey May draws inspiration from the colors and shapes of both coastal and desert landscapes. He splits time between his native Ojai, where he teaches private classes, and Arizona, the home state of his partner, Carole Kennelly. “My new Ojai Collection combines a lot of exposed, natural red clay with a speckled-eggshell glaze,” he explains. “I’ve been experimenting with a lot of new forms inspired by the mountainscape that surrounds the Ojai Valley, which is a creatively inspiring place for me.” Hand-thrown pottery comprises the bulk of his work, which has rapidly gained popularity with individuals, wholesalers and restaurants from Ojai to Brooklyn. “I credit the significant growth this past year to our participation in shows such as Phoenix Flea. It has given us visibility that is a challenge without a brick-and-mortar location.” Of late, he’s been experimenting with combining his most popular black steel glaze with a new eggshell glaze for a sleek, midcentury feel. This summer, he plans to work in a small studio on Carole’s family property in the cool mountain town of Flagstaff, where he’ll refocus and rev up production for the holidays. maywareceramics.com
NICHOLAS BERNARD NICHOLAS BERNARD STUDIO Natural forms and centuries of world culture fuel the creative mind of Nicholas Bernard. He’s fashioned his Scottsdale studio, nestled amidst carefully tended gardens, as a destination for kiln openings and gallery events. “It’s a nice way to include everyone, get some help unloading my kiln and have a party at the same time,” says Bernard. A world traveler and surfer, he was particularly inspired by a trip to Rhodes, where he encountered 2,000-year-old pottery that he describes as funky and uncontrived, lacking any hint of pretense. His classic shapes—ewers, amphora, jugs and closed shapes—embody those ancient treasures, but Bernard adds extravagant handles, texture and hot colors to his earthenware. He is also revisiting his work with white stoneware and porcelain, much of it in bold black and white, with a nod to how he began his 40-plus year career. “It’s a throwback to some of my original work,” he says. “I work seven days a week and things are always changing as I become aware of color and shape. It’s almost subconscious. I’m always working. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t do this.” nbernard.com 094 / LUXESOURCE.COM

PAUL FERRANTE paulferrante.com |
paulferranteinc
The production methods of custom lighting company Paul Ferrante are the opposite of cutting-edge, which, contrary to popular thinking, is a good thing. “The handmade, handcrafted and hand-finished products are what set Paul Ferrante apart. The company continues to use time-honored methods,” owner Tommy Raynor says. Spanning three generations and nearly 60 years, the family-owned and -operated business has decades of experience and expertise to draw from. Since business partner and founder Paul Ferrante’s passing 25 years ago, Raynor, along with over 60 employees, has taken the reins with a hands-on approach from manufacturing to product selection. Everything begins with the design, and the designs are born from a deep understanding and appreciation of what has come before. The knowledge of scale and proportion and the ability to get it right in the translation is Paul Ferrante’s signature. Additionally, the company distinguishes itself by its custom capabilities and being able to work with ideas and make them a reality.

The Finishing Touch
Keeping It Interesting
Paul Ferrante recently introduced an exclusive finish innovation, years in the making. This beautiful Faux Bronze lacquer finish is the result of a labor-intensive, multilayered process that provides a convincingly realistic bronze finish on our iron pieces at a fraction of the cost of working in bronze.
Unlike most other high-end lighting and furniture manufacturers, Paul Ferrante introduces new products almost monthly, and has over 1,000 handmade examples of custom lighting and furniture in the product line.

A feeling of nostalgia overcame Matthew Grzywinski and Amador Pons upon first visiting this former textile warehouse and showroom they later transformed into the Whitworth Locke Hotel in England. Having worked on 19th-century masonry buildings in their native New York, the space’s quality of light, Victorian bones, materials and textures were familiar to the architects. Welcoming spaces, like The Conservatory bar (shown), pay tribute to the local neighborhood vibes and original architecture.

MOD MOMENT
HIGH-END DESIGNS PUSH THE ENVELOPE WHEN IT COMES TO MODULAR KITCHEN STYLES. Modular kitchens aren’t a new concept. They were first introduced in Europe as an efficient, low-cost alternative for homes being built in a post-World War I era but have reemerged quite differently today. While these early spaces were mostly standardized or fitted, today, modular kitchens, which are made up of specific modules or components that work together, have evolved to be stylish, practical and a welcome option in a world of too many choices. Several contemporary kitchen companies offer modular plans that have a set style or aesthetic 146 / luxesource.com
but can also be customized to create a design that is very much original. Piero Lissoni, the art director for Boffi, agrees the future of the kitchen is modular, and that these spaces should include “simple elements, where areas of work and life come together.” For the latest Combine series, Lissoni dreamed up a selection of functional monoblocs in varying sizes that can be used with worktops and extractable tables to fabricate a kitchen that is still personalized for its user. Vipp, a Danish family-run kitchen company that recently opened its first U.S. outpost, understands that design is a very personal endeavor. The firm's hope is that once a modular kitchen is installed, it can act as furniture that can be packed up and brought from home to home or passed on through generations, an idea they coined as the ‘heirloom kitchen.’ While Vipp offers four sleek module units including two islands, a wall component and a taller storage piece, it sticks to one color when it comes to finishes: black. “We found that endless colors and configurations feel
unnecessarily overwhelming,” says Sofie Egelund, Vipp’s concept director whose great-grandfather founded the brand in 1939. The Vipp ethos of less is more allows for the kitchen to work harmoniously with the rest of the home’s high design. Modular offerings are also a hit with interior designers. Paris-based Sarah Lavoine says, “The kitchen is very technical and relying on a company whose expertise is focused on this area allows me to be more creative in other rooms.” With so many sophisticated materials and configurations, Lavoine is surprised by how custom these modular kitchens can be but without the time-consuming installation and planning that usually follows. New York designer Alberto Villalobos understands there is no need to sacrifice style or aesthetics with the number of luxury options out there. “I utilize every tool available to me and modular kitchens have proven they are the practical and polished choice in many circumstances,” he says.

For Thomas Furse-Roberts and Graeme Martinow, the directors of architecture and interior design firm Boundary Space, their design ethos for this London master bathroom was be bold or go home. Drawing inspiration from fashion, history and pop culture, Furse-Roberts says, “We were influenced by the ’70s because it has this glamorous connotation but was also a very futuristic time period, so we wanted to channel Blondie and Pan Am here.” The homeowner is in the film industry and the designers were charged with creating a room that not only represents their client’s personality but also the surrounding Notting Hill area, which is known for a strong sense of color and creativity.

What distinguishes a genuine expert and artisan? Some say passion; while others point to years of apprenticeship and research, or a portfolio of proven expertise. Often, the most ardent and prolific creators possess a combination of it all. In Mark of the Maker, the idea of authenticity is explored through the work and words of the design industry’s foremost craftsmen and curators. On the following pages, these luminaries share the techniques, technology and tenets of approach that define their process, and how it all comes together for a matchless result.

The Ultimate Custom Closet We just completed an extremely large, handmade closet composed of handapplied gold leaf and a handmade mirror. This project exemplifies our design approach because it was a great collaboration between designer, woodworker, finisher, builder, electrician and all the trades required to make a jewelry-box closet such as this. Not all of our projects are this large in scale, but the attention to detail is the same as if we created a small credenza.

There’s custom, and then there’s Allaire custom. Every component of the furniture-making studio is customized, concept to cushion fit. Owners Dan and Jennifer Allaire wouldn’t have it any other way. “Our signature ‘mark’ is that everything is handmade and one of a kind,” they say. “We have an on-site wood shop, upholstery and metal studio. This separates us in our industry, and allows us to focus on details, quality and deadlines. We are a true one-stop shop for designers.” Furniture-making in the Scottsdale area for more than 20 years, the Allaires strive to produce the highest quality items, with arms always open to new challenges. “From capiz shell-veneered vanities to sofas with bronze plinth bases, we are forever trying new products and materials,” Jennifer says. “Since we rarely make more than one of the same item, this keeps our skills honed and always pushes us to the next level.” 3
“ We are not interested in being a highproduction shop, but a shop that produces the highest quality items possible.”
Hands-On Techniques Among the many “hands-on” techniques used at Allaire are … hand-applied finishes and patinas, hand-laid veneers, 8-way hand-tied coil springs and more. “There are too many to list, but we do everything by hand here,” Dan says.

“Buying the earth’s most enduring art form requires never-ending travel to seek out the best materials for our offering.”
Cactus Stone & Tile History. Mission. Philosophy. What makes America great? Opportunity! This notion was tested in 1973 when, with only a 1958 Chevy pickup truck and $2,500 to his name, Kirk Butler founded Cactus Stone & Tile. “The intent from day one was to import and distribute the most unique ceramic tile products in existence,” he says. In 2001, he entered the natural stone slab business, later creating The Cactus Stone Gallery to assist anyone searching for the perfect stone surface … from ordinary to extraordinary. “Today, 46 years later, we’ve succeeded in putting together a tile and stone collection without rival,” he says.

When it comes to design—one statement holds true. Regardless of the application, the right material is a necessity. Nowhere does this come to pass more than when choosing the best surface finish and fit. “When faced with so many choices of granite, marble, quartzite, onyx, limestone, travertine, engineered quartz, etc., Cactus Stone will provide the correct solution,” says Kirk Butler, CEO of Cactus Stone & Tile. To sustain the company’s 350-plus stone colors in stock, Cactus Stone & Tile maintains a strict adherence to its buying criteria. First, it looks for color, next vein movement, then slab size, structural soundness, and lastly, cost. “If the first four criteria are not satisfied, the price doesn’t matter; we will wait for another block. We only deal in first-choice material and never compromise in order to save a few bucks,” Butler says. Partnering with stone quarries and tile suppliers around the world, Butler and his team are always on the lookout for the next, most interesting and innovative material. “With a highly trained sales staff and one-of-a-kind showrooms, we strive to exceed our client’s expectations,” he says.

DISTINCTIVE CUSTOM CABINETRY 623.414.4722 | distinctivecc.com
“Whether creating a custom knife for a one-of-a-kind molding or designing a piece that our hand carver can sculpt, authenticity doesn’t mean added expense,” say Mike Cook and Marc Poortinga, principals and owners of Distinctive Custom Cabinetry. It’s a credo the master cabinetry makers work by when crafting everything from custom cabinetry and doors, closets and storage, to millwork and more. All of its offerings are created in Phoenix and by its expert craftsmen. “Having such a diverse team allows us to become very involved in every project,” Cook says. “For us, it’s about finding an aspect of each client’s personality to reflect in their design.” Throughout Distinctive’s 12 years in business, it has been honored to work with some of the Valley’s most talented architects, builders and interior designers. “No matter the project, we rely on a good, solid team,” Poortinga says. “We can design and manufacture the most beautiful cabinets, but if our installation team isn’t superior, the look will be compromised.”

Few words capture the mark of a carpet and rug maker more than elite artistry. And few companies weave these two words together more authentically than J. Leigh Carpets, the bespoke carpet and rug line available through its flagship showroom, The Floor Collection. Dedicated to bringing back exclusivity in design, The Floor Collection recently celebrated its 12-year anniversary as a trade-only showroom. “J. Leigh was built to fill a void in the marketplace by bringing exclusivity back, not just to trade showrooms but to the trade industry itself,” owner and president Jill Robinson says. “This is so important because giving the designer exclusivity to any product helps make it a coveted commodity, and strengthens our industry in today’s instant-gratification, internet-driven society.” With homeowners revamping their interiors faster than ever before, Robinson stays committed to bringing not only exclusive carpet to designers, but also innovation and convenience to the industry. Stocking one-of-a-kind designer carpet locally at its warehouse, The Floor Collection offers quick turnaround on its custom, fabricated rugs and installation of wall-to-wall carpet.
“ J. Leigh Carpets formally launched nationwide in January 2019 to select showrooms that cater to the trade.”

When asked what the term handcrafted means to Hugh Mulligan, owner of Gots Chops Woodwrks, he says, “I’m not really sure what ‘handcrafted’ means anymore the way it gets thrown around, but everything that comes out of here is made by humans, using their hands,” speaking to his studio’s bespoke wood furniture creations. “We utilize machinery that cuts, drills, smooths and sands, but nothing is automated or automatic.” Using solid hardwoods whenever possible (preferably ash or walnut), Mulligan believes in keeping the design simple and enhancing the wood’s natural characteristics. “It costs more and takes longer, but we believe it’s the right way, so that’s how we roll,” he says. Starting with rough-sawn lumber sourced from various mills around the country, Mulligan completes the dimensioning, joinery, final sanding and finish work, smoothing out any blemishes to give each piece a uniform look. A lover of midcentury modern design, he crafts his furniture and custom pieces with this aesthetic in mind, cleaning it up and adding a little flavor of his own.
“A huge part of our philosophy is staying true to the material. Wood is as beautiful a building material you can ask for, and we treat it as such.”

Mulligan On … Keeping It Low-Tech We embrace technology, but in the end it’s just another tool that allows us to execute our ideas. All of our work starts as a sketch, but we lean pretty hard on modeling software to get to the final design before prototype pieces are started. Everything is built and finished in-house, which is the fun part. Aside from the software mentioned above, and the occasional outsourcing of CNC machining, everything in our shop is pretty low-tech. Just lots of big machines that spin sharp metal objects at ridiculous speeds, and lots and lots of sandpaper and dust. Just the way I like it!

WITH WANDERLUST ON THE MIND, CREATIVES ARE FLOCKING TO FAR-REACHING DESTINATIONS IN SEARCH OF ART, ARTISANS AND ARCHITECTURAL WONDERS. WRITTEN BY MARY ORE PRODUCED BY JENNIFER CONDON
Much like in the 19th century, when the Arts and Crafts movement espoused a return to the handmade in response to rampant industrialization, today’s visionary talents are turning away from technology and celebrating a return to the authentic. Bringing a modernist zeal to stone, straw, clay and textiles, creatives around the globe are reviving traditional crafts from an entirely new point of view. A desire for connection—to the materials, the process and to the region’s history—is at the heart of this new wave, which favors individuality and the sustained focus on genuine inspiration. Architects, too, are taking cues from their country’s past to build anew or overhaul the old, all the while creating work that’s startling fresh. There’s plenty of luxury, too, in the richness of the resources, the attention to details and the elegance and originality of the vision. Read on as we tour an array of design destinations where authenticity and modernism meet.

PORTUGAL Minimalist architectural silhouettes, exposed wood construction and high-end whiteon-white interiors give a bohemian-chic vibe to the Sublime Comporta. As the go-to boutique resort for this under-the-radar vacation destination, the Sublime Comporta recently reopened after a complete renovation that included redecorating the rooms in the traditions of the region, adding one of the largest “bio” pools in Europe and building nine poolside suites on stilts. With both a beachy and woodland Zen feel—stretches of unspoiled white sandy coastline lay to the west and forests of umbrella pines and cork trees to the east—its stunning locale is the perfect place to reconnect with nature. It’s also a glamorous and restful basecamp for excursions to nearby villages to discover the indigenous handicrafts for which the region is known. sublimecomporta.pt

With her second collection for the high-end furniture brand Artefacto, architect Patricia Anastassiadis of Anastassiadis Arquitetos showcases her gifts for sumptuous minimalism in pieces like the Banco Vivika (bottom) and spaces such as the lobby bar of the new Palacio Tangara hotel in São Paulo (left). Here she shares insight into what makes her native Brazil so special. anastassiadis.com.br, artefacto.com How do you define the region’s design? Brazilian modernist design is celebrated worldwide, and it was created mostly by
immigrants and their descendants. What truly marks this region’s design is diversity—we live in a cultural melting pot where countless references coexist. What exemplifies that look? Amazing woodwork, marvelous ceramics (with pieces from Marajó Island, for instance) and unique materials (such as the golden grass found at Jalapão) that create beautiful accessories. Did growing up in Brazil influence your approach? My architecture practice is based in São Paulo, a city with a rich and interesting international scene, and my work is marked by this diversity. Also, I’ve always been interested in classical art and architecture, which gives us a deeper understanding of the world. When we understand traditional design, we’re able to create original work of our own. Tell us about the new collaboration with Artefacto. We are always looking to develop timeless pieces with a holistic appeal. And despite their strong visual appeal, they’re not necessarily related to trends. I believe a good design piece ruptures its timeline without losing its aesthetic or functional relevance.

Its iconic façade, the vision of architect Ron Arad, is singular, as is the museum’s mission: As the country’s sole design museum, it is devoted to educating visitors through events and exhibitions about international design and contemporary culture. But it’s the evolving permanent collection, which encompasses Israeli design from the 1930s to the present, that offers new perspectives on the country’s aesthetic legacy and puts into context the energy invigorating a new crop of Israeli designers today. dmh.org.il

HOME AGAIN AFTER A FIRE DESTROYED THEIR HOUSE, A FAMILY REBUILDS WITH AN EYE TOWARD TOGETHERNESS. WRITTEN BY JEFF TURRENTINE / PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOHN WOODCOCK
For a couple in Paradise Valley, architect Mark Candelaria designed a cottagestyle home amid a lush landscape “that acts as a refuge from the desert,” he says. To reinforce a sense of tradition, he and project manager Vivian Ayala incorporated historic materials, including the reclaimed brick that comprises much of the façade.
I
f it weren’t 100 percent true, it would seem too onthe-nose: a beautiful new home rising from the literal ashes of its predecessor…just outside Phoenix, of all places. And yet it’s what happened to a residence in Paradise Valley, a family house which arose on the site of a calamitous fire that had destroyed the owners’ previous home, just months away from the completion of a down-to-the-studs renovation. The story of how the homeowners, their trusted interior designer and a thoughtful architectural team rallied afterward is a reminder that tragedy often brings with it the opportunity for beauteous rebirth. “The heartbreak of that day changed me on both a professional and personal level,” says interior designer April Lozevski, whose relationship with the homeowners stretches back more than 15 years. It was Lozevski who stood—and cried—with her clients in front of the first house as firefighters attempted to put out the blaze. “The decision to rebuild took several years. It took time and a new spark of inspiration to jump-start the process of dreaming again.” That spark came in the form of a serendipitous sighting: a house in Arcadia that had been built by architect Mark Candelaria—and that the homeowners “fell in love with,” according to Lozevski. Dreams were rekindled, contact was made, and a brief was born. The experience of the fire had made the owners, who have two children, reconsider life on two floors: They immediately connected with Candelaria and project manager Vivian Ayala’s proposal to keep things to a single story, with the children’s rooms closer to the main living area and master suite. In Lozevski’s words,

The clients’ artworks are marked by “all the elements I love to incorporate into a modern interior: contrast, color and character,” Lozevski notes. Opposite: Inside, April Lozevski put together an eclectic mix of favorite designer pieces with antiques and modern decorative elements. In the living room, she combined a rug by David E. Adler Fine Rugs, a pair of Dennis & Leen armchairs in Bergamo fabric and custom draperies fabricated at Art d’Fabrique. To the right is an oil painting by Hunt Slonem.

The custom draperies were crafted of Jim Thompson silk by Art d’Fabrique.
the effect of the family’s ordeal on their vision for the new home was to make them want to “pull in the layout and the volumes to create a more intimate, close-knit relationship of rooms.” In practice, that meant redefining the concept of the “family room” so that it encompassed a cluster of connected spaces, both indoor and outdoor, as opposed to a single one. This home’s family room, says Candelaria, is really more of a composite volume that “engages the kitchen on the one end and the outdoor loggia on the other to embrace the outdoors and to be a space to relax and enjoy living.” Of the kitchen, he adds that it’s “the hub of the home—definitely the center of the action.” As befits any hub, it has views in all directions, the most rewarding ones being those of the patios and gardens to the east, landscaped by Greg Trutza, and the courtyard to the south. But there’s also plenty to see on the walls. The clients’ expansive and ever-evolving art collection meant that the architects, designer and general contractor Russ Mason would need to craft warm, livable rooms that could double as exhibit spaces—such as the long and high-ceilinged gallery extending from the house’s master wing to its guest wing. “Much like you would in an art gallery, we opted to keep the interior finishes neutral, with warm white walls and custom aniline dyed greige doors,” says Lozevski. “We stripped away traditional millwork and opted for sculptural plaster ceiling details, elegant beamwork and lots of windows for natural light.”

In the master bath, a Dutch door allows in fresh air when the weather is just right. Polished marble floors from Waterworks contribute to the space’s bright look, as does the Kalista freestanding tub from Clyde Hardware.
Some designers push their clients toward a particular look, but Lozevski is happy to let her clients pull her into their visual world of beloved furnishings, fabrics and objects. Once there, she sees her job as “orchestrating all of these elements into a pleasing composition.” These owners love color, so Lozevski upholstered a pair of living room armchairs in a bright pink and yellow fabric inspired by batik. In the dining room, the chairs wear a cheerful green and white print. A powder room’s wallcovering is playfully patterned with bunny rabbits by the contemporary American painter Hunt Slonem. In the master bedroom, a unique sculptural ceiling detail stands out: a central oculus whose carved plaster ridges
suggest nothing so much as the underside of a protective umbrella over the bed. Steps away is the master bath, the goal for which was relatively straightforward, according to Candelaria: “Make it feel like you’re living at a five-star spa every day.” A well-placed Dutch door opens to the outside, letting in light and breezes but discouraging the entry of curious reptiles and other desert-dwelling critters. The completed residence is now an example of how the best-designed homes are capable of stunning us with their beauty, impressing us with their sophistication, and transporting us with their inventive style. But they’ll never have a higher purpose than that of a shelter for ourselves and those who are most important to us.
“I love the contrast of the master bedroom’s polished nickel light fixtures with the timeworn woods,” says Lozevski, who designed the bed with fabrics from Inside/Out. The bedside tables, also her designs, were made by Desert Cove Woodworks. The vintage Turkish Mamluk rug is from Azadi Fine Rugs.

“The couple wanted a really open floor plan—nothing dark or enclosed,” says interior designer Dawn Terry of the great room concept. Here, she paired Arhaus sofas with Italian stools from Wisteria around a Memoky coffee table. In the kitchen, a row of Serena & Lily barstools lines the island beneath pendants by Circa Lighting.

rad Leavitt has built his fair share of classic stucco homes, so the prospect of working on a craftsman-style residence in Scottsdale was a welcome change. “It enabled us to utilize materials that are used less often in Arizona, like lapped and batten siding and roofing materials other than Spanish tile,” says Leavitt, noting that the neighborhood was not subject to the Mediterranean design guidelines prevalent in nearby communities. It was that opportunity to step out of the old-world box and fashion something with a fresh, coastal feel that also attracted the homeowners, a young couple seeking a departure from the monotony of their previous Tucson home. “We came from a community where all the houses were stucco and tan, and you couldn’t have grass in the front yard,” says the wife. “Here there are tree-lined streets, a variety of houses and a very different feel.” Finding a local architect schooled in the basic tenets of craftsman design, however, was not easy. “We lived in the Scottsdale area and many of the architects had never done siding,” says the wife. Enter residential designer Cory Black, who specializes in craftsman-style bungalows and brought with him an understanding of exposed rafter tails, corbels, open eaves and other architecturally appropriate details. “Gable rooflines are crucial to support this style of architecture. The grid pattern in the windows is very specific to the look, and a large front porch is essential,” says Black, who complemented the crisp siding with colonial fieldstone in a light mortar wash befitting the authentic gray and white color scheme.

Located in the main dining area, the nook provides overflow seating for large family gatherings. Playful leafprint wallpaper lends distinction to the space and envelops the table and pair of Wisteria chairs. A pass-through to the butler’s pantry reveals blue cabinets by Burdette Cabinet Co.

The double door is by The Door Mill, and the European oak floors that start here and continue throughout are from Enmar Hardwood Flooring.

Inside, at the homeowners’ request, the open floor plan is noticeably devoid of a living room. “Our last house had a living/dining area combo, and other than holiday time, we walked right past them,” says the wife. Instead, a great room that brings everyone together— incorporating the dining room, breakfast nook, living area and kitchen—better suits their family-oriented lifestyle. “I don’t want adults in one room and kids in another,” she adds. “With the nook nearby at holiday gatherings, we can fit everybody in one room.” She also requested ageappropriate play and hangout areas for her five girls, who range in age from 11 months to 15 years. A custom indoor playhouse answers the call for the younger members, while the older girls use the nearby dance studio.
When interior designer Dawn Terry arrived on the scene, the layout was set, but the materials that would connect the interiors to the prevailing architecture were yet to be determined. “We knew we wanted a hefty wood trim budget if we were going to make everything inside an extension of what was happening outside,” says Terry, who took one look at the soaring entry and knew the staircase wall needed full-height wood panels. “Anytime you have a house with such tall ceilings, wood trim is the most dynamic and cost-effective way to anchor a space.” The dramatic millwork continues in the great room, where deep coffers and rectangular panels above the painted brick fireplace mitigate the tall ceiling. “Ceilings that high also mandate substantially sized furnishings

so they don’t look miniature,” says the designer, who paired two distinct sofas in shades of gray and beige with leather armchairs and a round woven rattan coffee table. “I prefer the seating possibilities of two big sofas over a sectional,” she adds. The subtle palette carries over to the dining area, where a wood farmhouse table stands up to the rigors of active family life and the overflow nook with a built-in banquette is distinguished by pale green leaf-patterned wallpaper. In the adjacent kitchen, reclaimed-wood beams, recessed cabinets and carved elements on the island establish a warm, intimate feel, and the millwork is once again the star. “The interior trim and millwork all come together to make this a beautifully detailed home,” says Leavitt. “We carefully vetted the craftsmen involved and these details really carry the feel and intent of the home.” When it came to secondary spaces, like the music room and master suite, Terry zoned in on the owner’s feminine personal style with the introduction of blush tones. (“I’m a girly girl,” the wife admits.) The site of piano recitals features whisper-pink hues on the throw pillows that rest on the linencovered armchairs and the rug. In the master bedroom, the rosy loveseat that nestles at the end of the upholstered bed kicked everything off. “I added dark nightstands and metalframed chairs to balance things out,” says Terry, noting that the flowery wallpaper in the powder room down the hall further punctuates the feminine leanings. As for the husband’s place amidst all the frilly undertones, his wife says, “With five girls, he’s learned to deal with it, but he loves to cook so he got to select all the appliances—and there was no question he got to pick the TV.”

LIGHT FANTASTIC RUBBING ALUMINUM WITH ABRASIVES, A MASTER PRINTMAKER CREATES LUMINOUS WORKS OF ART. WRITTEN BY ANGELA MATANO / PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAURA MOSS
luxesource.com / 199
A
rtist John Armstrong finds that living in the Southwest brings plenty of advantages— notably, the abundant sunlight, and, subliminally, the singularity of the desert shapes, such as the cacti and succulents and rock formations that can inspire his forms. “Finding abstract shapes that are new and interesting is difficult,” the artist observes. Armstrong’s recent work is especially responsive to all that Arizona sunlight. Using “drops,” or remainders, of aluminum that he buys from an industrial metal supplier, he covers a panel, then creates forms of contrasting hues and reflectivity by rubbing the surfaces with a range of abrasives: steel wool, kitchen pads or sandpaper in varying grits. “They become studies in gray,” he explains. “With different lighting on them you get more blues. I use knives if I want to plow through the material so it catches more light. The pieces become participatory because the hues change as you walk by them.” Working spontaneously to create forms that eschew representation, Armstrong often starts by responding to existing marks in the aluminum. “I have a philosophy I call ‘engaged abstraction,’ ” he says. “I try to be open to and aware of the process to explore and utilize possibilities as they present themselves.” He often retrieves discarded work to discover accidental marks, finding the trash to be “freer and more exciting than the original idea.” Trained in printmaking, Armstrong worked with paper, canvas and plywood before turning to aluminum. His longtime studio in Scottsdale has a place to weld, another to frame build, and a room for matting and cutting. He welcomes visitors, and his studio has a grand piano, although neither Armstrong nor his wife, fellow artist Joan Prior, play it—all the more reason for others to drop by and tickle the ivories. An avid traveler, Armstrong revels in soaking up as much art as possible, from Conrad Marca-Relli to R. B. Kitaj to Francis Bacon. That said, inspiration comes from everywhere; even something as mundane as spilled liquid holds the tantalizing suggestion of a new shape. Seeking the new has always been a priority for Armstrong, who moves on to fresh techniques within a matter of weeks or months. “I’m like a mad scientist,” he confesses. Lately, he’s been bringing his experience as a printmaker to bear on his aluminum pieces, adding pigment to create luminosity and depth at the initial stage, or applying single veneers between rubbings. “The subtlety is greater,” he says, noting that his process remains fluid—always changing, always open to chance. “Things appear and disappear and rehappen,” Armstrong says. “I’ve selected a path that is to discover new things, and I’m always trying to reinvent myself—not radically, but there must always be a sense of progression.”

A master printmaker, Armstrong has an etching press (far left) in his studio, where he cuts abstract forms (left) to create his layered works. Designs for his latest pieces, abraded aluminum panels, appear in his sketchbook (below).

Warming Trend WITH A LIGHT HAND, A COUPLE UPDATES A PARADISE VALLEY HOME TO BECOME THE NEW CENTER OF THEIR FAMILY LIFE.

T
he architecture made for an amazing backdrop,” interior designer Laura Kehoe says of the Paradise Valley home she recently remodeled for a couple moving from the East Coast. “We were essentially just creating an extension of what was already there.” She may make it sound easy, but the project required a skilled approach to gathering furnishings that reflected her clients’ aesthetic while taking them in a new direction palette-wise, with neutrals that wouldn’t compete with the gravitas of the architecture. The house, built several years earlier by residential designer Gary Wyant, “was designed as a Europeanstyle retreat,” he says, adding that the original owners’ focus had been on entertaining. To that end, Wyant conceived an open floor plan that flowed easily to expansive patios and a serene garden created by landscape designer Jeff Berghoff. “The pocket doors, breaking the barrier between indoor and outdoor living, were a must for us,” affirms the wife. Adds the husband, “We knew upon the first viewing that the level of this home’s quality made it incomparable.” The architectural proportions—large rooms, high ceilings—were the most critical factor in Kehoe’s design. “We had to get the scale right,” she explains. “It’s a pretty formal home, and I didn’t want to take away from that, but it needed to be livable. I wanted the furnishings to work with the architecture, not overpower it, so I toned them down with neutrals.” The couple’s previous house was a colorful Spanish adobe—“the polar opposite of this one,” says Kehoe—so they agreed to jettison their existing furnishings, including a hot-pink sofa, and
“WE HAD TO GET THE SCALE RIGHT—I WANTED THE FURNISHINGS TO WORK WITH THE ARCHITECTURE, NOT OVERPOWER IT.” –LAURA KEHOE
follow the designer’s lead. “Bright colors wouldn’t have matched the sophistication of this grand house. We stuck with neutrals as a basis, adding reds and blues—classic American colors—because that felt appropriate.” Since the couple was based on the East Coast and not available for frequent in-person meetings, Kehoe came up with turnkey options that helped them make decisions quickly. She started by repainting the rooms and adding new lighting and mirrors. When it came to the furnishings, she says, “I shopped independently and found great items locally, like the wood bench in the living room.” Ample wood pieces were used to create warmth throughout. “After we chose all the main pieces, we went back through to see what was missing and then layered in all the accessories.” The designer also opted for unfussy window treatments, explaining, “Traditional homes here are going cleaner now. It’s not about heavy, ornate fabrics anymore.” Kehoe also encouraged the homeowners to showcase their personal interests through the design. They’re a horse-riding family, and, notes the wife, “We’d found the Drew Doggett Sable Island wild horse photographs we wanted to incorporate. We weren’t entirely certain where or how to do so. Laura worked that out for us, then suggested other ways to tie a subtle equestrian theme into the great room space.” Leather chairs, nail-head trim and woven blankets lend a subtle feeling of the Old West and infuse spaces with a sense of ease. “We wanted a home that felt cozy—with ourselves, our dog and our guests free to sit or lounge anywhere,” remarks the husband. In a spacious guest bedroom, Kehoe again focused on scale. “It’s a long, rectangular room and we could fit a lot in,” she says. A pair of queen beds fill out the space while leaving plenty of room for pretty upholstered end benches and a leather club chair. While the prevailing palette here is neutral, through a coral and salmon carpet, Kehoe says, “We were able to get in a little of the wife’s favorite pink.” Just outside the French doors is an enclosed patio with a table and chairs. “I love that there are private little areas all around the house,” Kehoe says. “The outdoor areas are charming. And the back patio, with its dining table and seating area by the fireplace, the pool and the outdoor kitchen, and those views of Camelback Mountain, is perfect for hosting holidays.” “Laura achieved a rare combination of elegance and livability,” observes the wife. “She’s adept at listening and responded to the ethos we described wanting for our home. She has a wonderful designer’s eye—with wonderful ears to match.” With everything now pulled together, the husband adds, “We’re looking forward to making the house feel ‘lived in’ by actually doing so.”
“It has a natural elegance,� is how interior designer Laura Kehoe describes a Paradise Valley house she remodeled for clients moving from the East Coast. In the entry, she combined a custom bench upholstered in Sunbrella velvet with a rug from Alyshaan Fine Rugs. The painting is by Lisa Macchiaroli.

Kehoe furnished the living room with custom pieces, including the sofa upholstered in Pindler fabric from Pacific Resource Group and the armchairs covered in fabric from Sam Moore. The coffee table is by Dovetail Furniture and the rug is from Underfoot.

“TRADITIONAL HOMES HERE ARE GOING CLEANER NOW. IT’S NOT ABOUT HEAVY, ORNATE FABRICS ANYMORE.” –LAURA KEHOE

A soaking tub creates a spa-like feel in the elegant master bathroom. To lend softness and texture to the space, Kehoe added a custom ottoman covered in blue and ivory Schumacher fabric and a Lulu and Georgia rug.
“The guest room felt like it could handle a little extra color, as it would be for a variety of different guests,� says Kehoe, who chose a rosy-hued Jaipur Living rug for the space. A Zimmer + Rohde lumbar pillow from Palavela Home, one of a pair, adds a graphic element to the Hooker Furniture bed. Beside it is a bedside lamp by Currey & Company.
luxesource.com / 211
A poolside sitting area for two features a pair of chaise lounges from Patio Renaissance upholstered in Sunbrella fabric. “In Arizona, clients’ requests remain pretty consistent,” Kehoe notes. “They want wonderful outdoor areas for use all year except high summer.”
The rear garden and pool are original to the house, which was designed by residential designer Gary Wyant. In keeping with the request for a European-style look, landscape designer Jeff Berghoff filled the lush rear garden with olive trees, cypresses and boxwood hedges.

ay Reitz, owner of Reitz Builders, was a carpenter and contractor for 20 years in New York City, until he moved West to Arizona in 2010 after meeting his wife on a mountain biking trip. Since then, he’s built a reputation for incorporating the detailed and embellished design elements of his traditional Northeast roots into the construction of every mountain home design. “We do this in keeping with the massive, timbered look this area demands, while maintaining the connection between indoor and outdoor living,
which is paramount here,” Reitz says, speaking of the breathtaking views and perfect summer climate in Flagstaff and surrounding Northern Arizona communities. “Many of our clients are moving here for both the beauty and the elevation. The stunning San Francisco Peaks and pleasant summer weather have positioned Flagstaff as No. 8 in the nation in the second-home market,” he says. “Athletes from all over the world are also training here and we’ve had the privilege of working on many of their homes.”
FLAGSTAFF HAS IT ALL I have been completely blown away by the diversity of landscape in Flagstaff, as well as the surprisingly diverse cuisine. Golfi ng, mountain biking, hiking, skiing and boating are just a few of the popular things to do on a summer day; followed by food and drink from one of the many eating establishments like Pizzicletta’s wood-fi red Neapolitan-style pizza. Of course, there are the endless natural wonders, from the aspen groves of Mt. Humphreys and Walnut Canyon National Monument to the Grand Canyon. Just an hour’s drive away, the canyon welcomes tourists from across the globe who stand in awe of its splendor. And for history lovers, the Flagstaff Pioneer Museum brings visitors back in time to the ranching, logging and transportation that established this region.

n 2000, Stephanie Larsen was living and working in Orange County, California, where she’d established her firm, Stephanie Larsen Interior Design, some years before. While she loved the area, Larsen was looking to live at a slower, more intentional pace, and when she stumbled upon Sedona, she knew she’d found her new home. “The lifestyle in Northern Arizona is relaxed and casual, and the people are welcoming, energetic and well-educated,” she says. In addition to the community and culture, Larsen has thrived in
Northern Arizona’s design scene. “Homeowners don’t need to bring an outside architect, builder or designer from the big city,” she says. “We have all moved here, and award-winning talent abounds.” In fact, Larsen herself has been lauded for her ability to deliver spaces equaling those found in the most design-centric cities. Her philosophy relies on balancing beauty, function and personalization. “I discover what makes the client feel comfortable in a home and actualize that vision,” she says.

iven Northern Arizona’s stunning landscape, sunsets and topography, it’s no surprise architects of the region play to the beauty of its natural surround. Thus, many area homes are designed with a more rustic aesthetic, incorporating heavy rock, wood trim and, oftentimes, a metal roof. “They do mimic the landscape appropriately, but in many cases do not have the open, contemporary feel that is so popular,” says architect Nancy Weinman, owner and architect of namesake Weinman Architectural Services. “I like to combine the
rustication with a lighter, brighter approach to the interior and use the landscape as my inspiration. My goal is to allow one to be closer to that landscape with the use of larger-than-life glass openings and window walls.” To accommodate Northern Arizona’s growing second-home and retirement population, Weinman also incorporates elements of Universal design so her residences evolve as the owners age. “The beautiful rock formations and weather can’t be found in any other location, so everyone will always want to own a home here,” she says.
